What is that? Potatoes with a side of stew on a plate?
Nearly - minced beef in gravy with some chopped vegetables thrown in (usually peas and carrots), next to boiled potatoes (that are usually mashed up).
Some parts of the UK have bread and butter as a side with everything.
It is a hearty dinner mind - it’s not flashy or instagram-ready, but it is tasty and fills you up.
Rationing lasted until the mid-50s and left a lasting impression on people’s diets. It’s taken decades to recover socially, mainly with the aid of foreign cuisine.
Indian immigrants are the MVPs 👍
At first, I thought that you declared Indian immigrants as a minimum viable product. After some googling I guess it’s meant to be most valuable players. Small but significant difference. 😂
I mean, we had rationing in Italy too, but you don’t see people struggling to make a passing meal here. I’m pretty sure we were also much poorer than the British both going into and coming out of WW2
